boldcaptions
I need also in the figures and tables caption, the title be in bold not the description of them.
I mean "Figure 3" in bold but the description "this is a new and beautiful image for every one like that….." ordinary font.
I use these commands, it works when the caption is not too long,
\usepackage[compatibility=false,labelfont=it,textfont={bf,it}]{caption}
\captionsetup{labelfont=bf,textfont=bf}
I just ran into the same issue. (It's really annoying when trying to produce print-quality preprint versions of the paper.) Poking around in pnastwo.cls, I found the following fix:
Find the first line in pnastwo.cls which says
\ifx\@captype\xtable
Change this to
\ifx\@captype\table
Alternatively, if you don't want to touch the class file, you can put the following into the preamble of your document:
% Fix wierd behavior which prevents table captions from appearing for
% tables in the body of the article
\makeatletter
\long\def\@makecaption#1#2{%
\ifx\@captype\table
\let\currtabcaption\relax
\gdef\currtabcaption{
\tabnumfont\relax #1. \tabtextfont\relax#2\par
\vskip\belowcaptionskip
}
\else
\vskip\abovecaptionskip
\sbox\@tempboxa{\fignumfont#1.\figtextfont\hskip.5em\relax #2}%
\ifdim \wd\@tempboxa >\hsize
\fignumfont\relax #1.\figtextfont\hskip.5em\relax#2\par
\else
\global \@minipagefalse
\hb@xt@\hsize{\hfil\box\@tempboxa\hfil}%
\fi
\fi
}
\makeatother
One additional comment: once this bug is fixed, you'll almost certainly run into another issue which you'd want fixed if you use the PNAS two-column class to produce production-quality output: Unless you define floats with the h "here" placement, it loses the labels, so all cross-referencing of figures and tables breaks. Here is the fix, for direct pasting into the document preamble. You can also patch up the macro \DonormalEndcol pnastwo.cls, it's the same mistake 6 times over...
% And another fix. PNAS class loses the label of floats unless they
% were defined with the [h] option (so not really floats at all). It
% all comes down to wrong scope in the following routine which pushes
% out the floats onto the page. This is the fixed version:
\makeatletter

Do not make changes directly in the \caption argument; instead, you can use \captionsetup locally (inside the environment); unfortunately? (seee below) tiny is not one of the predefined font sizes, but you can easily implement it using \DeclareCaptionFont; an example including some of your general settings for caption:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}
\DeclareCaptionFont{tiny}{\tiny}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
A
\caption{test caption in \texttt{small} font size}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\centering
B
\captionsetup{font=tiny}
\caption{test caption in \texttt{tiny} font size}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
Of course, you can introduce any other font, style, etc. modifications required in \captionsetup.
As a side note, a caption with such small font would be really hard to read.
Best Answer
For "the title [of the caption to] be in bold [but] not the description of them", i.e., if an upright font shape needs to be employed, you should issue the instruction
and not issue a
\captionsetupdirective.If the caption title should be in bold italics and the caption text in ordinary italics, you should state
Don't use the
compatbility=falseoption. The package's user guide states that "this option is neither recommended nor supported since unwanted side-effects or even errors could occur afterwards."
